Stefanopolis got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies
I've never laughed so hard reading a thread. But anyways, my 6th grade teacher asked me to help her with the movie we were going to watch and said it wouldn't go in the slot. Turns out, she was using a Pentium 3 computer, and she was literally trying to shove the DVD into the flipping floppy disk bay. i told her "That's not how it works," and once she finally understood what to put the DVD into, she put it into the optical bay upside down. <_<

Stefanopolis got a reaction from SCHISCHKA in What is Handful.exe?
Hey so I figured out that it's playing audio ads in the background and it's in my audio tray and shows up as like 10+ different sources. Any Ideas?

Stefanopolis got a reaction from SkilledRebuilds in What is Handful.exe?
While I was typing my response, my PC was restated because of handful.exe. This may have seemed confusing but after much trial and error I think I finally figured it out. "Handful.exe," the file, had complete system permissions, hid in the Program Files (x86) folder in a hidden folder that i had to change to non-hidden to view it. If I deleted the file, it would restart my PC and just come back. What I had to do is:
1. Deny all system permissions
2. Change the folder (which was called "Increments") to be visible
3. Individually delete all processes in task manager
4. Delete "handful.exe" before the processes restarted
5. Delete the folder "Increments" There was also a folder called Mkt and maruguerite, if anyone wanted to know.
6. Empty recycling bin, CCleaner, Malwarebytes, etc.
It was weird and kept coming back, but I hope it's gone for good.
Thanks for all the help guys! This community truly is great.

Glad it all worked out in the end without reinstalling Windows.

Because he tries to make a comparison to prove linus wrong, but uses different software and hardware. It wouldn't bother me if he had run windows and premiere on the mac book.

Stefanopolis got a reaction from Tedster in Dumbest Tech Questions/Quotes You've Ever Heard
My friend calls it "UBS" and refuses to believe it's USB, so I always laugh inside when we're in Engineering and he says "Hey where did you put my UBS drive?" More of a "Experience with non-techies" post than a quote but he says that all the time so I thought I'd put it here.

Stefanopolis got a reaction from Khajiit Dealer in Please Explain to me what I need to do to replace my graphics cards
Simple. Turn off your PC, make sure you're grounded of any electricity, unscrew the PCI Bracket, unplug your power connectors ( may be 6 or 8 Pin), remove your SLI Bridge and gingerly remove your GPUs. When your 980 TI arrives, put it in the topmost PCIe 16x slot and screw on the PCI Bracket, plug in the power, and install the drivers.

Stefanopolis reacted to STRMfrmXMN in I modded my HD 518s - and it turned out great!
Most modern pop music seems to not sound significantly better on open cans. Pretty sure they Taylor (see what I did there) to the Beats crowd (heavy bass, no mids, no interment separation) so they don't make much sense on generally bass-lacking open cans.

Oh, the Hot Glue method
Yeah I was thinking that the fabric would rip out from the sides slowly, nvm
I'm fine with open headphones, except when I really want to blast some Taylor Swift lol
